Take a break from all the hustle and bustle and play some reindeer games.

Take a break from all the hustle and bustle and play some reindeer games.

If I were to say to you, “Daddy, teacher says every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings,” you’d instantly think of “It’s A Wonderful Life.” Right?

The same can be said for Christmas music. Those cute little melodies will drive you nuts by Christmas Day, but you can’t help but feel the spirit the first few hundred times you hear them on Black Friday.

Let’s see how well you know your Christmas movies and music. Grab yourself a cup of cocoa, some paper and a pencil and take the quiz.

You get one point for each correct answer (the correct answers will be given below).

10. “Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to. Don’t you see? It’s not just Kris that’s on trial, it’s everything he stands for. It’s kindness and joy and love and all the other intangibles.”

11. “You’re skipping Christmas! Isn’t that against the law?”

12. “Lets see, we’ve got a munkle for your uncle, a fant for your aunt and a fandpa for your cousin Leon.”

Questions 13-20 are lyrics to Christmas songs.

13. “Slip a sable under the tree for me. I’ve been an awful good girl.”

14. “He’s making a list. And, checking it twice.”

15. “With Every Christmas card I write.”

16. “And if you ever saw him, you would even say it glows.”

17. “Santa won’t make me happy with a toy on Christmas Day.”

18. “You don’t need ‘deck the halls’ or ‘jingle bell rock,’ cause you can spin the dreidl with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock.”

19. “It doesn’t show signs of stopping, and I brought some corn for popping.”

20. “Please have snow and mistletoe, And presents on the tree.”
